Sarkozy
accused of working for Israeli intelligence
Paris - The
French daily 'Le Figaro' last week revealed that the French President Nicolas
Sarkozy
once worked for - and perhaps still does, it hinted - Israeli intelligence as a sayan
(Hebrew for helper), one of the thousands of Jewish citizens of countries other than Israel who cooperate with the katsas
(Mossad case-officers).
A letter dispatched to French police officials revealed that Sarkozy was recruited as an Israeli
spy. The French police is currently investigating documents concerning Sarkozy’s alleged espionage activities on behalf of
Mossad, which Le Figaro claims dated as far back as 1983.
In 1978, Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin ordered the infiltration of the French ruling Gaullist
Party 'Union pour un Mouvement Populaire'. Originally targeted were Patrick
Balkany, Patrick Devedjian and Pierre Lellouche. In 1983, they recruited the
'young and promising' Sarkozy.
